It must see the object from all side to get a complete 3d model, for example if you want to scan let say a cup you need a full 360 access to the cup as the software only rely on image and cannot extrapolate how is the back of the cup. Any view part not available will be missing from the model so if you have access to only half of the cup you will get a half cup. But for a bow plate the issue does not exist as back is just an empty part, see what I mean?
So provided you have scanned the surface, and you edit the created model to give it a thickness, then you have a 3d bow plate model.
Only thing is that the scanned surface must not be too shiny and must have texture so the software can "see" it, and usually a bow is shiny and all white. But by using a temporary dotted sticker on the bow it should do the trick.
I will play with it when I have some free time as it can be a funny experience
